π Some Important Updates
π Why I Cancelled ChatGPT PlusAfter being a power user for more than three years, I finally cancelled my ChatGPT Plus subscription. This might sound crazy coming from someone who's used ChatGPT Plus for this long. But here's the thing: I'm not saying YOU should cancel right now. If you're getting good results with ChatGPT Plus and you like your outputs, keep doing what works for you. But for me personally, I realized I'm better suited in Anthropic's ecosystem (Claude) and Google's AI ecosystem going forward. And that's the recurring theme here: AI ecosystems matter more than ever. I suggest watching my recent video where I explain this in more detail.

But I figured out how to export all my ChatGPT account data and upload it to NotebookLM, Gemini, Claude, etc. βClick here or the image below to watch my tutorial on transferring your ChatGPT memory. Here's What Sealed the Deal: Google just launched something called Personal Intelligence where Gemini can now look at your history across Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, Drive, Maps, Photos, etc. and use that data as context. Google has a MASSIVE advantage over ChatGPT's walled garden approach. π€« My New AI Stack for 2026 Outside of cancelling ChatGPT Plus nothing drastic has changed from my main AI stack. But here's what I'm using right now: Claude Max ($100/month) Claude Opus 4.5 is the best model right now for reasoning, coding, and copywriting. I want more usage of Opus 4.5 and in order to get the most out of Claude Code you need the Claude Max plan. *I will be creating Claude Code videos soon Google AI Pro ($20/month) Ever since Gemini 3, Google has been shipping high-quality AI updates that are both useful and affordable. I pay $20/month for more usage, which is especially useful for generating AI images with Nano Banana Pro.

Unlimited AI writing across 20+ social accounts and API access for automations. This powers a huge chunk of my content system. Related Video: My Social Media AI Automation With Blotatoβ HeyGen ($29/month) This is how I create my AI video clone that powers 90% of my short form videos. The quality keeps getting better and you can also use their UGC avatars and interactive avatar features. Related Video: How to Create an AI Clone with HeyGenβ Make.com ($8/month) Still my automation platform of choice. I use Make to build AI automations that save me hours every week for research and content creation. Easier to learn than n8n for beginners and also less expensive than Zapier. Related Video: How to Build a Simple AI Automation with Makeβ OpenRouter (Pay Based on API Usage) I use OpenRouter to access multiple AI models through one API. This is a great solution to only have one API key vs managing APIs across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc. Will you be cancelling ChatGPT Plus in 2026? Hit reply and let me know!

π My BookmarksI'm getting better with Claude Code π
6-12 months is probably pushing it but I can see 2-3 years. Regardless I think this point is valid.
This vibe coding tweet went viral and I agree with Gael's take on it...
Idk about you guys but I'm getting sick & tired of AI outreach tools.
Gemini will keep closing the gap. Never dismiss Google's distribution machine.
